Episode 375

Yu army sortie (5)

“Gojeong.”

“Are you here, father?”

It seemed like the meeting was held late. When Yeonwi returned after midnight, a subtle look of fatigue was visible on her face.

Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.

“Thank you for your hard work. “Just go in and sleep.”

“Before that, I have something to say.”

“Are you talking about the departure point?”

“Yes.”

Yeonwi sighed.

Parents’ concerns about their children are not limited by experience. Even if you win ten battles, your worry about your child going out to fight for the eleventh time is no different from the first time.

The same was true for Yeonwi. My worries for my son were the same as before.

However, the person who was always managing his facial expressions was now filled with deep thoughts.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

“Are you the Ink Dragon Club?”

Yeonwi asked in surprise.

“How do you know that?”

He described the conversation with Mo Yong-woo as is.

Yeonwi’s face hardened.

“Chief Tangma?”

“That’s right.”

For a committee that values norms, Mo Yong-woo’s remarks could not help but be seen as crossing the line somewhat.

But Yeonwi made up her mind. In other words, there were times when Yeonho-jeong would give himself advice or suggest solutions to situations. From that perspective, the words and actions of Mo Yong-woo, who presented the strategy to Mo Yong-gun, were not something to be greatly criticized.

It’s just that I don’t feel good because my blood relatives are involved in that matter.

As if reading Yeonwi’s mind, Yeonhojeong smiled and said.

“Commander Moyong is an outstanding talent. Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he is also resourceful. But what trumps them all is character.”

“Character.”

“Mo Yong-woo is the most white-faced person I’ve ever seen. “Except for my father, of course.”

Yeonwi smiled bitterly.

“I trust your vision.”

“thank you.”

“The results of the meeting will be officially announced tomorrow at noon. However, there was an opinion from the officials that it would be better to inform you, the leader of the Uijeonggun, first. That’s why I tell you first.”

“I will listen.”

Yeonwi took a deep breath.

“As you said, the departure location is related to the Black Island Mukryongbu. However, it is not possible to touch the Inkryongbu directly.”

“I thought so. “If you touch it hastily, a war could break out.”

“Of course, war will not break out anytime soon. Even if a preemptive strike is launched, most issues can be resolved through diplomacy, and only a very small number of cases result in real bloodshed. But there’s no harm in being careful.”

“That is correct. So what are the orders to be given to us?”

“Did you know a man named Hong Guan (??) before that?”

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“This is my first time hearing this name…”

“Yes. So do I. “I didn’t know anything about him until I heard Hu Gai’s words.”

After a brief pause, Yeonwi suddenly spoke.

“The man named Hong Guan is one of Tuwang Yang Chen’s disciples.”

“…!”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face hardened.

“Please explain in detail.”

“I would like to, but I can’t really explain anything about him yet. However, from what Hu Gai found out, he was one of the strongest among Yangcheon’s numerous disciples and was moving in the dark, deliberately not revealing himself to the world.”

Yeon Ho-jeong could not hide his wonder.

‘One of the strongest men? ‘You’re Yang Chen’s disciple?’

He was a man who had already lived one life and returned.

In other words, it means that in the past and now, we have some knowledge about things that will happen in the future or about people that the world does not yet know.

But I didn’t know anything about the man named Hong Guan. A disciple of Tuwang Yang Chen? Of course, he also fought with his disciples, but Yeon Ho-jeong knew of only four of Yang Cheon’s disciples.

The number four is by no means a large number. However, my father says that I am one of ‘numerous’ disciples.

Yeonwi nodded.

“Yeah, if you had known, you wouldn’t have reacted like that.”

“I had a life-or-death struggle with Yang Chen, killed him, and reigned as the king of the dark island.”

“know.”

“The information power of the black island even surpasses the white island in some areas. And in war, if you kill the enemy’s leader, it is common to find the dangerous people under that leader and eliminate them. “I did the same.”

“….”

“But I know of four disciples of Yang Chen. That’s a number that can never be described as high….”

“Then it’s one of two things. Either he stayed locked away after Yang Cheon’s death and planned something… or he wasn’t Yang Cheon’s disciple in the first place.”

“…!!”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face hardened in shock again.

Yeonwi continued.

“Actually, I tried to decide the location of the military’s expedition this time based on the information you stole from the Mukryongbu. The illegal business carried out by the Mukryongbu was shaking the economy of Gangho, and clans that were not revealed to the world were secretly sucking up the blood of the common people. “I was planning to select the first strike location as such.”

“I expected that too.”

“But things have changed. Later, it was said that it was very lucky to have found a person named Hong Guan.”

The information power of the later opening of the world is discussed as the peak of the world.

It is said that even Hu Gae was lucky enough to be able to investigate a person named Hong Guan by chance. This was a passage that showed how well a person named Hong Gwan hid himself.

“Where on earth is Hong Guan doing?”

“He is an assassin.”

“…yes?”

Yeonwi’s face hardened.

“The man named Hong Guan is an assassin. But he’s no ordinary assassin. “They said he was the king of the world of assassins that I, Hugae, and the entire Baekdo martial arts community did not know about.”

“…?”

“And surprisingly, it is said that his power is so great that he dominates the world behind Kangho. In other words, he is the master of all assassins in the world and is said to exercise great power in the shadows.”

“…!”

“It was incredible information. It is even difficult to trust because only the name and relationship with Yangcheon are clear and there is no other detailed information. But… Hugae seemed convinced that he truly reigned as the god of the martial arts world.”

Power came into Yeonwi’s eyes.

“The problem is what comes next. Opening purifies all information collected from all over the world in real time and sends only what must be known to the Murim Alliance. “The amount of information filtered out is just jaw-dropping.”

“I know.”

“Soldier Zhuge said so. Something unusual is happening in southern Jungwon. “It is said that the clans that were famous in their own way lost their power at some point, and a series of clans or military families that were destroyed by rebels or bandits began to appear.”

“Bandits?!”

“Yes. Of course, it’s not just bandits. “There were local wars between clans and clans, and several famous nobles died of disease or fell off cliffs.”

“Such…”

“The problem is that such things are happening so naturally. The midfield is wide. And disease and death can occur at any time. So, even during the opening up until now, I was keeping an eye on what was happening in the south, but I didn’t think it was particularly strange.”

Zhuge Mun-ho pointed out something that was thought not strange even in the public domain. I was able to see once again how extraordinary his insight was.

“And Hu-gae… believes that a person named Hong Guan may have been involved in the natural but clearly visible decline in the power of the Baekdo martial arts group that is occurring in the southern part of the country.”

“Hong Gwan… Then what will Uijeong-gun do?”

“Yes.”

Yeonwi sighed.

“If there is a clear cause as to why it happened along with the opening of the central plains, we should go to the southern part of the central plains, investigate what it is, find out the person named Hong Guan, and eliminate or arrest him.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes cooled down.

Prince Yu is literally just Prince Yu. However, the higher-ups are told to investigate the situation, find the cause, even Hong Guan, and eliminate it.

Although it is a task that Yu-gun can take on, it is far beyond Yu-gun’s capabilities. So, it may be said to receive help from openness, but it can be said that it is not a mission suitable for the Uijeonggun.

“It would be right to send a small number of elites. The number of Uijeong-gun is over 500. “This is not a matter for the military to handle, but a special operations unit or special agent.”

“Isn’t there a special operations unit within Uijeonggun?”

“…!”

Yeonwi sighed.

“Yes, the Bonggongs have high regard for the abilities of the Immortal Army. But I also think this is not something the Uijeong County should handle.”

“Then even more so….”

“That’s why I’m even more hoping that Uijeong-gun will take over this task.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face distorted slightly.

“Is it because of fame?”

“It’s not just because of that, but I don’t think there is a reason at all.”

Yeonwi is the head of the Byeoksan Yeonga family and a member of the six generations. Of course, its reputation and presence are great.

The problem is that all Bonggongs have a presence and authority that is second to none. Even if a small number of feudal lords come forward to strongly block it, they have no choice but to follow the trend unless it is a major violation of morality.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Yeon-wi, asked.

“Let me ask you just one question. Did Zhuge Army also approve this operation?”

“Unbelievably, he was the first to approve it.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.

Yeonwi sighed.

“That’s why I also couldn’t show strong opposition. It’s not because I’m friendly with the military. “I think there must be a reason for the military to approve this.”

“Of course.”

“But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand this operation. In particular, as Hu Gai said, if Hong Guan is truly a powerful figure in the underworld, finding and eliminating him would be no different from picking a star in the sky.”

“…hmm.”

Yeonwi asked vaguely.

“What do you think? Do you think there is a clear reason why the military confidently approved this?”

“I guess so. “I don’t know yet.”

“Whoa.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was lost in thought for a moment, nodded.

“No matter what, if such an order were issued, we would also have to make our own preparations.”

“You have no shame. “I, too, am a member of the Bonggong clan.”

“no. I am a commander in charge of five hundred and fifty soldiers. “I have doubts and worries, but if it’s an order from superiors, I have to obey it.”

That’s what the military is like. Even if an unreasonable order is given, the military is the one that moves first and achieves the order with maximum efficiency.

but.

‘It doesn’t make sense.’

A light shadow appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.

‘It doesn’t make sense. Both Zhuge Jun and Hu Kai know their father’s personality. If it was something like this, it seems like they could have given a heads up in advance, so it looks like my father only heard about it at the conference hall.’

At that time, Yeonwi said.

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“There is nothing special about it. “Can I just ask you one favor?”

“Okay, please speak comfortably.”

“Please meet Mr. Moyong.”

“Moyong-gun? now?”

“That’s right.”

“What can I do when I meet him?”

Yeon Ho-jeong spoke in a monotonous tone.

At that moment, Yeonwi’s face hardened like frost.

“…Okay, if that’s what you really think, then I will do the same.”

After half an examination.

While Mo Yong was drinking tea and looking out the window, he saw a person.

Prince Moyong, who had been looking at him for a while, opened his mouth.

“Is there anyone outside?”

“Yes, matriarch.”

“Please bring the drinking table. A noble person has arrived.”

“yes.”
